Location: Perth Australia		I actually bought the proper rubber from somewhere when I was building my dodge (would have got it off ebay

It fits between the cowl and the cowl vent (sandwiched there) so the trunk seal is wrong

I still have it somewhere I think because I couldn't close the hood once it was on

I think the hood seal is pretty simple and the trunk seal might not be long enough. Are you looking for original look? otherwise a modern seal would work better. the original is more of an "L" shape

Location: northern germany		Unless it has to be like original, this seals actually better and is cheaper. Installed almost 30 years ago, it still looks like new. Hollow D-shaped weatherstripping, glued to the body/firewall:
